Toyota loses its way

You need to give up the bottle.

You are becoming a desperate troll. Get back in touch when you return to the land of the rational. Bye bye.

the bottle marked "reality" that makes me call a spade a spade? you need to give up the bottle marked "self delusion is indistinguishable from gullibility".

oh, the guy that claims he can damage a toyota transmission with a full-throttle shift is not a desperate troll - no siree!

Is your vehicle involved?

I think you either just don't know how to drive, or were trying to drive a Tercel like a Supra.

Either way, you ruined a perfectly good transmission in a perfectly good car all by yourself.

Believe what you want. It's your delusion.

News:

it would be easier for Toyota to post a list of the vehicles NOT being recalled.

Not mine at all. You must have done something serious to be able to ruin this transmission.

This transmission is rated 131 hp, and is mated to an engine that produces

The spec for 1st gear is 34MPH. You probably managed to exceed that, and probably the 2nd gear spec, too. Ever hear of an Owner's Manual? It's in there.

All they have to do is list US made models.

They make a LOT more models than this.

hold on there and step back a bit - you're "discussing his allegation as if it could be anything other than complete bullshit. why?

1. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
2. From his postings here, he appears to be just about enough of a hammerhead to actually ruin a transmission in a Tercel thinking it was some kind of Boy Racer car...

He needs to blame Toyota for his own lack of Common Sense. Thing is, I did what he did with my Tercel and had no problems. And he never did respond to the comment I made about ATF service...

i think that before you start giving him ANY #1, you need to step back and pay attention to your own experience first. unless there was some other fault already present, there's no way our friend damaged a toyota transmission simply by letting it shift at full throttle. cab drivers full throttle shift in their toyotas all day long, all over the world, [as of course, do many consumers] and those transmissions cope just fine. have you noticed how many "concerned user" postings there are in this group archive about failures? "but all i did was put my foot down", etc? none. there are literally millions of #2's out there, but suddenly, our friend pops up and pops off with just the kind of unproven but inflammatory "allegation" that the other paid sociopaths are posting. bottom line, he's making it up.

Is English a second language for you? What part of "it was shifting itself in fully automatic mode" do you not understand? Just like every other car I've driven. I drive them all the same, it was only the Toyota that could not hold up to a few full throttle automatically controlled up shifts a week. It appears you really have little understanding of how cars work.

You two need to get a room if you're going to sploog all over each other.

so you say dude, so you say. pity all the others of millions of toyota abusers out there can't corroborate your assertion though, don't you think? then you'd be on to something.

seems you really have little understanding of how to support a logical argument, let alone actually observe mechanical performance.

What part of "You probably managed to exceed (the 34MPH spec) that..." did you not understand?

If you don't think an autmatic transmission can exceed it's own spec speed limit under "full throttle shifts", then there's hope for you...

He drives them all the same? Sure.
